I should also inform that I have an iphone and I have no idea if this will work with an android device. At that point the image will show up eventually in your timeline.
That being said, from this point in the process, the only way I discovered that I could post the 360 panos was to select the image with the modified metadata from my gallery and tell it to post to Facebook directly from the phones gallery app. Also posting directly from a PC does not work either. The krpano Viewer is a small and very flexible high-performance viewer for all kind of panoramic images and interactive.
Now it doesn’t seem that you can post these directly to you timeline from the app or into groups on Facebook at the moment for some reason. I used the website to accomplish that (it also has the advantage of being easy to use right from your mobile) Next you have to upload the images you want to post to your phones (or I suppose tablets) photo gallery. To do this, you have to change the images metadata tags for camera make to “Ricoh”Īnd camera model to “Ricoh Theta S”. Then, what you have to do is to trick Facebook into thinking the image came from a Ricoh Theta S. Next you need to make sure the image is JPEG (I tried TIFF but it didn’t seem to like it much). So the first thing you will need is the most up to date Facebook app installed. Right now it looks to me as though Facebook only wants to take images from the Ricoh Theta S uploaded from their newest moble app. First of all, I should state that I shoot everything with a DSLR and a fisheye lens and stitch my images in PTgui.
It took me half of today to figure out how to get these posted so here is the rundown and limitations. About Hotspots After loading an image into Pano2VR or opening an existing project. The nice thing about this is that you can pan around them right in the timeline view which looks pretty slick actually. Its Krpano visual editor and I dont have to play with coding. You don’t realize it, but you have taught me a lot! To return the favor, I thought I would chime in here seeing as to how as of yesterday (6-9-16) Facebook has added the ability to add 360 photos natively.
